Other protos? It seems impossible to me to know where all those fones have gone...I mean, maybe somebody from Ericsson has an idea how many protos were built, but where they are now...? I would like to know but it's impossible.
The FM Radio for my R320 is great and makes it feel like a modern phone...smile |

Spotted on eBay and wasn't sure if it's of any interest to the  collectors here.
It's a 'new' A1018s going for £15.00 on BIN.
Here's the link:

i am still wondering, how was the recall story of r520. they sold already some before the recall ( afaik ), so they contacted all the buyers to give it back or they let it as is is and asked for them for a fw upgrade?

Recall action for Ericsson R520-mobiles
After a report of Ericsson the first supply of the new GPRS mobile phone should be afflicted with a software fault. This is to lead to far shorter standby than indicated in the specifications. German customers are however not affected by this problem, since this charge went only to Retail dealers into Sweden and two other European countries, told Monika Rubensson opposite heise on-line. Ericsson is already on work to exchange the incorrect devices by recall action.
I hope you understand the text because I only have german details about it, posted on www.heise.de and tried to translate it for you.
Here's the original text:

Rückrufaktion für Ericsson R520-Handys
Nach einer Mitteilung von Ericsson soll die erste Lieferung des neuen GPRS-Handys R520 mit einem Softwarefehler behaftet sein. Dieser soll zu weit kürzeren Standbyzeiten führen als in den Spezifikationen angegeben. Deutsche Kunden seien von diesem Problem allerdings nicht betroffen, da diese Charge nur an Retail-Händler in Schweden und zwei andere europäische Länder gegangen sei, betonte Firmensprecherin Monika Rubensson gegenüber heise online. Man sei bereits dabei, die fehlerhaften Geräte per Rückrufaktion auszutauschen.
Ericsson hatte im vorigen Jahr sowie im ersten Quartal diesen Jahres mit hohen Verlusten zu kämpfen. Nun versucht der Konzern im Bereich neuer mobiler Technologien wieder Fuß fassen zu können. Deshalb wurden in letzter Zeit vor allem Entwicklungen im Bereich Bluetooth und Generel Packet Radio Services (GPRS) vorangetrieben. Das jetzt auf dem Markt kommende R520 ist das erste GPRS-Mobiltelefon von Ericsson.

Never heard about something like that. The standby fault of T39 has been fixed by EMMA patch and the RF processor fault of T28 also has been fixed by warranty repair but not by a recall.

Hi there,
about protos: On how many of the other protos, other than the R320, is written "prototype" I mean explicite? I saw other protos, but never with the name written on it. |
